It's a bit weird having 50 degree weather here in Salt Lake this time of year. Last year at this time, we had 20 degree temps and snow all over the place. This year we're having to make snow for the skiers up in the mountains. It's fine with me, because I'd be happy if it was 80 degrees year round - but of course everything would dry up including our economy.

If you live somewhere where it snows frequently, accumulated snow or freezing rain with below freezing temps will leave a layer of ice on your car's windows if not cleaned quickly. Sometimes, a brush and a car's defrosters running can be enough. But if it's cold enough or thick enough, a plastic scraper may be needed to get the job done.

If that's true - then I want to live where you are. A snow scraper is a little flimsy hand-held plastic shovel kind of thing that is supposed to be used to remove ice and snow from your windshield and other car windows. They're usually pretty flimsy and break easily.
Not very effective, but we usually have one or two in our car just in case we might need it.

Well I get the 'best' of both worlds here in Utah. Usually we have about 10-20 f weather in the winter, then 100 to 110 days in the summer. And you're right, they have the same effect of keeping me indoors most of the time. I may be moving (not by my own choice) to Florida so - now I can deal with the heat AND oppressive humidity at the same time. Hooray.
